Come and Try
The Toowoomba Pistol Club offers a Come & Try experience for those interested in trying out the sport of pistol shooting. This is offered subject to demand and the availability of qualified Range Officers and co
PLEASE NOTE: This is focussed on teaching the basics of pistol shooting as a sport and is not a "shooting gallery" type experience.
During the Come & Try you will have the opportunity to experience several styles of target pistol shooting including air pistol, 50 rounds from a 22 pistol and some larger revolver and semi-auto pistols supplied by the club. Cost may vary due to changing ammunition prices but starts from $50 per person.
Each person participating is individualy supervised at all times by a Range Officer or Club Member standing at their shoulder in line with Queensland firearms laws.
While everyone who does a Come & Try finds the experience fun, please note that it is intended to be a genuine introduction to the Club, pistol shooting as a sport and the process involved in joining the club and getting licensed. It is not a "shooting gallery" type experience and may be quite different from private pistol ranges offering "off the street" shooting experiences.
Paperwork & identification required
Come & Try is open to everyone over the age of 11 provided the necessary paperwork is completed and photographic identification can be provided. All participants must complete a Form 33 prior to shooting. This Form restricts some individuals ability to use a pistol. Visit Weapons Licencing to review the form and ensure you will be able to complete this form prior to participating in a Come & Try.
